About Us Common Trust exists to help business owners sell to their employees, creating shared prosperity that strengthens companies, communities, and the broader economy. We are the first of our kind in the category of alternative exit planning, allowing business owners who will seek a sale within the next decade to get a competitive price while rewarding loyal employees, maintaining company culture, and avoiding the hassles and risks that often come with more traditional sales processes. Companies that are employee-owned benefit from increased loyalty, pride, and performance, and an owner can rest assured knowing they have done well by doing good and solidified a future that secures the legacy of their business. With a 93% client satisfaction rating, Common Trust has supported over 60,000 workers in becoming employee-owners to date through Employee Ownership Trusts, and for us, this is just the beginning. We’re building the infrastructure for the next generation of business ownership. Learn more about us: Common-Trust.com Position Summary In response to growing demand, our delivery team is now hiring an additional Transaction Advisory Associate to guide small and mid-sized business owners through the process of executing a sale to their employees. With 75% of all business owners in the U.S. looking to sell over the next decade, we believe that making employee ownership the exit of choice for small businesses is one of the most powerful ways to close the wealth gap in America, and in this role, you'll be at the center of making it happen.
